TsubuTalk: AI Speaking Coach

■ TsubuTalk — AI Speaking Coach, on your iPhone. TsubuTalk turns the world's most capable AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) into your personal speaking coach. Record a short utterance ("tsubuyaki"), get instant 4-axis scoring on device, then hand the transcript off to your favorite AI with a built-in coaching prompt for in-depth feedback on logic, vocabulary, persuasiveness, or grammar. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your phone — nothing is sent to external servers, ever. ■ Why ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude as your coach? Whether it's English conversation, TOEFL / IELTS speaking, a presentation, or an interview, you can ask a top-tier AI to "review my logic," "improve my vocabulary," or "make this more persuasive" and get a structured critique in seconds. TsubuTalk never calls AI APIs directly. You pick a provider (ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude) and the app hands off your transcript via Share Sheet, clipboard, or browser — you paste it into the official app or site yourself. No API key needed. - 5 built-in coaching prompts: logic / vocabulary / persuasiveness / grammar / custom - Switch the target provider in settings (ChatGPT default, Gemini beta, Claude beta) ■ Instant on-device 4-axis scoring Before you hand off to the AI coach, see objective scores instantly on the device: - Volume (dBFS): average input level vs. a comfortable target range, as a 5-step badge. - Speech rate: mora/min (Japanese) or syllables/min (English), from the transcript. - Filler rate: detects fillers ("um", "uh" / "えーと", "あの") and their share of total tokens. - Pronunciation clarity: a 0-to-1 score from whisper.cpp's recognition confidence. When any axis falls outside its target range, a short text hint is shown. ■ 330 built-in topic prompts Beyond a "freestyle" mode, TsubuTalk ships with 330 prompts across 5 locales. - DAILY: 150 (30 x 5 locales) - SPEECH (structured / persuasive): 150 (30 x 5 locales) - ENGLISH (speaking drill): 30 (shared across locales) A random prompt is offered each time so you never run out of things to say. ■ Progress dashboard Track scores over 7 / 30 / 90 days with line charts and a 4-axis radar. Streak counter, weekly/monthly counts, and rule-based insights at a glance. ■ Mic calibration A 5-second calibration personalizes the target dBFS range to your device, so the volume score fits your setup. ■ Privacy — recordings never leave your device - Recordings, transcripts, scores, and calibration data stay on the device. - iCloud backup is excluded (NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey = true). Data migration is JSON export via Share Sheet (AirDrop / Files) only. - Crashes are not auto-reported; manual export only. - The only data leaving the device: AdMob ads, the first-time model download, and text you explicitly send to an external AI chat. See the in-app privacy policy for full details. ■ Pricing — completely free, ad-supported The app is completely free. A banner appears on the feedback screen and an interstitial during analysis (Google AdMob, personalized ads disabled). No ad-free plan, no in-app purchase, no subscription. ■ Requirements - iOS 16 or later - ~600 MB free storage for the speech-recognition model - Wi-Fi recommended for the first launch (model download) ■ Supported languages (5 locales) UI: Japanese / English / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / Korean Speech recognition: Japanese / English / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / Korean / Auto-detect (multilingual whisper model) ■ Who is this for? - People practicing English conversation, TOEFL / IELTS speaking, presentations, or interviews - Anyone who wants AI feedback (ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude) on a speech but finds manual transcription tedious - Users who don't want their voice data sent to external servers — privacy-first by design - Speakers who want to quantify their speaking with objective metrics (pace, fillers, volume) ■ Contact Settings > About > Send Feedback, to email the developer directly.
